Lip Lift Surgery
Lip-lift surgery is an aesthetic procedure that shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip, everts it and improves its size, structure, and shape. It can be performed alone or along with other procedures, such as facelift.
You may want to consider lip lift surgery if you have any of the following: long distance between the nose and the upper lip, thin upper lip or lips that lost their shape due to aging and have become disproportionate to the rest of the face and did not improve with fillers alone.
